The woody structural elements represent a significant portion of old works and historical buildings, and the need for retrofit and strengthening them increases. Glued-in rods are an efficient way of providing stiff, high-capacity connections in timber structures. Those flexible joint systems have the advantages of high load transition, appropriate behavior in case of fire, easy application combined with a high level of prefabrication for fast installation. Besides, the aesthetic appearance of the finished joint also plays an important role. Many experiments were undertaken on this subject in Europe, but a common database about the designing instructions of glued-in rods was never encouraged. This paper aims at summarizing the different factors that can affect repairs made with glued-in rods and their influence on said repairs.
Keywords:timber structures; glued-in rods; reinforcement;repair;structural gluing
